a new track in Spain to strengthen the defense

This summer, Barça has targeted a particular sector: the axis of its defense. With this in mind, Jules Koundé and Andreas Christensen have come to settle in Catalonia to strengthen this sector. With Gerard Piqué, Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia already present, Xavi Hernandez thought he was calm for this exercise, but the combined injuries of Koundé and Araujo in selections, as well as of Christensen against Inter Milan, made the technician understand that maybe we still had to recruit. And according to daily news Mundo Deportivothe Catalan leaders would have already checked a name for this winter.

The Martinez track in winter?

This is Inigo Martinez, the central defender of Athletic Bilbao. At 31, he sees his contract come to an end next June, and the Blaugrana could try to put pressure on the Basques to secure his services from the winter transfer window with a lower price. But problem, the player currently suffers from patellar tendinitis, which prevented him from participating in the first games of the season, even if he has just chained three starts in La Liga. The activation of this track will depend in particular on the evolution of the various injuries of the Catalan defenders.
